New Balance 530 Bungee - Grey - Size: 2 UK

ABZORB cushioning is a proprietary New Balance technology that provides superior shock absorption. It combines cushioning and compression resistance to help absorb impact and provide a comfortable, responsive feel underfoot, especially beneficial for active children.

The bungee closure features an elastic cord system with a stopper. To tighten, pull the cord through the stopper. To loosen, press the stopper's release button and pull the cord. This allows for quick, easy adjustments and hassle-free on and off for kids.

While inspired by classic running shoes and providing excellent comfort, the New Balance 530 Bungee is primarily designed for casual everyday wear, light activity, and comfortable play. For specialized sports, dedicated athletic shoes are recommended.

It is always best to measure your child's foot and consult the New Balance size chart. Kids' feet grow quickly, so regular measurements are recommended. Allow for a small amount of growing room, but avoid shoes that are too large, which can cause tripping.

No, machine washing is generally not recommended for New Balance sneakers as it can damage the materials, cushioning, and adhesives. It's best to follow the spot cleaning and air drying instructions provided in the care section.

The New Balance 530 Bungee is not designed to be waterproof. It offers standard protection against light moisture but is not intended for heavy rain or wet conditions. For enhanced water resistance, you might consider applying a shoe protector spray.

Adjust the bungee closure. Ensure it's pulled firmly for a snug fit, or loosened slightly for more comfort. Check the child's sock thickness, as this can affect fit. If issues persist, consider checking the sizing again.

Check the bungee cord and its stopper for any trapped debris or twists. Gently manipulate the stopper mechanism to ensure it moves freely. If it remains stiff, a small amount of silicone spray on the mechanism (avoiding fabric) might help, but ensure it's child-safe.

Regular light cleaning is key. Wipe down the shoes with a damp cloth after each heavily soiled use. For dried mud, allow it to dry completely, then brush off gently before wiping. Consider using a shoe protector spray to help repel dirt.

Ensure the child is wearing appropriate socks. Re-adjust the bungee closure to ensure the shoe isn't too tight or too loose, which can cause friction. Check for any foreign objects inside the shoe. If discomfort persists, inspect the shoe's interior for any seams or elements that might be causing irritation.
